Tres

Another decent run this morning. Getting up at 5:00 isn't as bad as I thought it would be. Note to self-- It's time for a new alarm clock. Every time you even touch the $10 cheapo we bought years ago,m the time moves ahead a minute or two. Next thing you know, I'm going to be setting the alarm for 5 and waking up at 4:30.

I figured out my 3 mile run for Saturday morning. From the corner of our neighborhood to the train station and back. Nothing scenic about the run, but it will get me my mileage. The knee feels really good today. I'm very surprised. Still, I'm going to remain careful about it and not overdo the running.

My Popdose entry about Great Strides and "Here Comes the Sun" went up this morning. It turned out nicely and I am a little impressed with myself for attaching so many links and media to the posting. Not that I'm going to become some kind of web guru, but it's nice to have a little bit of knowledge on how these things work. I am really thrilled about the exposure Popdose is giving the Basement Songs series. The best part is having the songs there for readers to listen to as they read along. Anyway, we received a couple of donations from readers of Popdose. Again, it always amazes me how strangers will jump in to help one another. Thank you everyone.

Not much else to tell. My head's still a little cloudy from waking up so early.

Aloha

Take something called proteolytic enzymes (a health food store should have it) on an empty stomach 2-3x a day. They're anti-inflammatory. You can also make a tea by cutting up ginger into a pot of water, bring it to a boil, steep about 6 bags of tea (per gallon of water) for 20 minutes, put the concoction in the fridge overnight, strain out the ginger, drink a quart of the tea a day. Filled with anti-oxidants and the ginger is also anti-inflammatory. Oh, and fish oil. 3 caps a day with food. Not only anti-inflammatory but gives your coat the high-pro glow.

A Trip Through the "My 90's Tapes" Collection Pt. 9: Mötley Crüe, "Girls, Girls, Girls"

Column 3, Row 13: Mötley Crüe , Girls Girls Girls. I was never a big fan of Mötley Crüe. I liked their radio hits, but I never listened to one of their albums in their entirety until 1989’s Dr. Feelgood , which was orchestrated in a way to dominate radio stations and suck in casual fans, like me, who had trouble getting past the Crüe’s purposeful sleaziness. That said I always admired them more than the other Sunset Strip bands. Bassist Nikki Sixx and drummer Tommy Lee were such a formidable rhythm section and laid down a solid groove to all their music. Guitarist Mick Mars had a knack for making his guitar hiss sinister, matching his perpetual scowl. Vince Neil was nothing to write home about as a vocalist, which made his unpolished singing just a little more intriguing than most of the other front then who dominated mainstream rock in the mid-late 80’s. Girls Girls Girls was released in May of 1987, just in time for a long summer of Mötley Crüe taking over the mi...

The EPIC Playlist Update

We made it through the holidays and the Southern California fires, and the Epic Playlist is still going. Super Dave and I had planned to take December off, but we both missed the daily ritual of adding something new to this crazy list that we love. Inspired by Nic Harcourt on L.A.'s 88.5, the SoCal Sound, we opted for a "Pick of the Day" approach midway through December and have carried on that way ever since. That has slowed down the progress of reaching our ultimate goal of 168 hours of music (i.e. one complete week's worth of music), however, it's allowed us to slow down and give a little more appreciation to the tracks we've placed on the list. Where are we at now? 1,814 Songs and 124 hours (unless you're looking on my phone and it's 123 hours and 49 minutes. Weird). I got obsessed with the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame at the end of January and now I'm making an effort to include all of the performer inductees. I don't know why; it gives me ...
